The Chequers Inn in Harborough

Tasty, well presented food, good portion size, reasonably priced.

Very pleasant country village pub, amazing food, great atmosphere, kitchens closes sharp at 8pm

Lunchtime drinking spot on Expedition weekend

Fantastic old school village pub

Nice enough for a drink, although not a great wine selection. Food offering was very basic. I must add we all finished our food, but it was a bit of greasy spoon type grub.

Fantastic venue for Nashville days concert. Great food, drink and service from pub staff.

Meeting room today, excellent service. Food was fantastic and the car parking is huge. Letting rooms, nice patio area, staff friendly. Recommended.

A fabulous old English pub. Friendly staff, very welcoming.

I have been visiting for 20+ years with my family and it never fails to disappoint.

nice place for a cheap bite to eat. Staff were great, helpful, and the drinks were spot on. Plenty seating, inside and out, free car park and a TV in the bar.

Good play area for kids but the food was really poor, worst pub burger we've had anywhere, seemed like a readymade one from a supermarket. So nice for a drink and a play but don't bother eating.

Lovely old pub, fabulous garden area, great place for a game of skittles

Nice standard pub food after a morning of muddy Wolf Run racing up the road.

Lovely friendly village pub, good selection of pub grub and drinks, great landlord too.

Had a fabulous time at Gig in the garden at the Chequers for the second year running, love the event love the pub and love all the hard working staff thanks so much see you next year.

Went in for some lunch and to regroup after getting lost in Rugby (again...). Good happening atmosphere for a Thursday lunch time. Some good old boys working their way through some beers, and younger customers eating. I had a ham roll which had lovely thick fragrant ham, cut, I suspect, in house. Salad too. My wife had a tuna jacket spud with loads of salad. She ran out of steam and I finished the salad. I had a jolly nice pint of Landlord, which was well kept.

Booked an afternoon tea all arranged by text and prompt reply back to confirm appointment. Looking forward to this lunch

Came for the curry. Curry was very nice and only £6, bargain. Service was quick and the staff were very friendly. Would definitely recommend

My local pub, fantastic selection of real ales and superb food at amazing value for money, the pizzas are better than Dominoes! Loads of themed evenings and live music events ask at the bar for details sky sports available too. Lovely beer garden to the rear with swings and other things to keep the kids amused plus a Marquee for summer events. Best pub in the area bar none...well done to Brian for all the hard work he puts in and the rest of his team for all there help and support!

A fantastic place, would thoroughly recommend. A warm welcome from the staff and locals, great value!

a wonderful meal in great surroundings, big thanks to Brian and his team

Great pub with a fantastic atmosphere and lovely staff. They also have great live bands on such as Third Alert.

A nice village pub. There is a good range of food options on the menu. The food is typical pub grub but that is in keeping with the traditional pub atmosphere. Prices are very reasonable. Staff were friendly and welcoming. The pub is cosy inside and has some nice outdoor areas.

Good pub grub in a traditional setting.10/10

Great outdoor charity festival. Well organised and attended.

Lovely little pub, always welcoming with a nice atmosphere, and a large garden great for the kids

Their Salads are second to none. Make sure you have a light breakfast before having their lunches Super and such friendly atmosphere too

A very nice pub, with a cracking landlord! Brian has been there for quite some time now. He is very relaxed, and you can tell he knows what he is doing. I love the feel of this place, and the beer is well kept.

Friendly pub with different events on all the time

Went on a Friday night with a group of people, most of whom had pre-booked their meal. I and my husband hadn’t. However when we arrived the waitress took our order almost straight away. I was on a table of four. Out of the party two had pre-booked, two hadn’t. Three people of our party were served and I waited, and waited, and waited. At least an hour. When we checked I was told there had been a bit of confusion with the orders, but that “it’s on its way”. Half an hour later, at least, my dinner was served. Two other people had also waited a long time. I wished after the first hour I’d have cancelled. The chicken in the pie was cubed and hard, the sauce was watery, the pastry soggy at the bottom and burned on the top. The chips were appalling. We spoke with the gentleman behind the bar about the wait and the confusion. He blamed it on the group of people we were with. Was totally unsympathetic, bordering on rude. As regards the food. Two people in our group had fish and chips. The fish coating was hard, the chips awful. The serving staff were very efficient, can’t fault that. The food. Mmmmm. Maybe if we go back again it may be a better experience.

Came for the bingo night tonight. As advertised to be told all tables were reserved. And we had to go sit outside never once was it stated that you had to reserve a place. Was happy to take our money 2 nights before

Great staff lovely food 😋 good selection of beers 🍻

Always lovely to go back to the chequers ,so many happy memories there . Thank you, Brian 😘

Lovely village pub friendly owner and staff and locals. Good beer and food. We actually played live music there and the crowd were so much fun as they sang along and danced.

Lovely pub with a warm friendly atmosphere. Plenty of seating and a lovely outside area.

I went with my family and it was a wonderful experience wonderful staff and beautiful food would 100% recommended 🫶

Friendly staff. Good food. Lovely ambiance.

Absolutely brilliant kids play area with bouncy castle. Great pub with real ale

Lovely pub. Landlord always accommodates us to watch the rugby.

Pop up food stalls in the garden are great. Great beer too. And the Mr Whippy ice cream is genius

Lovely sausage beans and chips on a weekday lunch. Lovely people. Just popped in off chance as passing!

Played the games on hand - loads of fun

Lovely Ambience, very Friendly staff Cheerful people..and the atmosphere were amazing.. lots of space to accommodate a large crowd.

Great food, great friendly service, my other half left his bank card on the bar... Honest people it was brought over to our table.. That's what I call 5* service and dog friendly too.. 👍

Great pub. Really friendly landlord

Friendly village pub. The landlord supports Leicester City so you will always find their matches on the TVs in the pub. They do pub grub and pop up kitchen events. There is a large garden and private rentable cabins if you don't fancy sitting outside (small fee). A great little pub (good ales too)!

Nice atmosphere during events, otherwise usually quiet

Very friendly management and staff. Good food.

Lovely traditional country pub.We enjoyed our meal.

Very clean and friendly staffing.

Very welcoming pub with excellent real ale.

Perfect place for a quiet drink after a hard day's running

First time here friendly staff and a nice pub

Lovely food, very friendly staff

Very friendly pub that welcomes dogs, good beer selection and nice decor

Traditional pub with Traditional pub grub

Good meal with will go again.staff very friendly

I liked it. Honest food and a decent pint. Staff were friendly.

Great food, great service ,nice place! Great park for kids!

Nice selection of pub food and quality beers

We had Sunday lunch here, the pub is very old and nice, service was friendly, the food was by far the best bit, very tasty and just the right amount and a reasonable price

Outstanding pub top quality brilliant owner⚽️👍🍻

A very hit and miss pub, with strange opening times and poor menu choices, the night we called in our only choice was pizza, we were looking forward to a proper meal that I hadn't had to cook. The beer and wine choices were also disappointing.

It's been a while but it was great to be welcomed back by Brian and his team. quite possibly the best Sunday Roast we've ever eaten and all washed down with a pint of Timothy Taylors. as Arnie says "we'll be back"

Really nice place in a lovely little village. Great garden for the children and, what I thought was a clever touch, is that there is an Adults Only outdoor space too.

Great pub , friendly staff and a great landlord especially if you support Leicester 👍

Such a friendly welcome! We were staying in the nearby Stanford Hall caravan site and walked over the fields to this attractive, traditional pub set in the picturesque village. Kim was our cheerful, obliging and highly efficient host. Her ploughman’s lunches - one cheese, one ham - were delicious. The platters generously proportioned and featuring top quality ingredients. We sat outside in the newly-completed “adults-only” patio garden to enjoy a pint of Cornish Pale Ale. A really happy experience, and many thanks to Kim for making it so.

Love this place Brian always helpful

Lovely pub, good garden space. Family friendly and as always amazing food. Staff are helpful and always smiling. We will see u again very soon my favourite place to be.

I used to like really thin pizzas and only really ate them abroad until I discovered The Chequers pizzas! They roll the crust over the tomato sauce and then add cheese so the crusts are so tasty! Highly recommend! P.s. the Sunday roast dinners are really great too - the best roast potatoes!!

Rude management, Why is it in establishment the management is always correct and the customer is always wrong. So rude and unwilling to listen the customers side. WRONG

Good for what it is. Helpful staff

Super friendly place. Good food, great atmosphere

We had an excellent Sunday lunch followed by a good choice of puddings . I had a apple pie and custard, but there was sticky toffee pudding, ice cream and more. Very friendly and helpful staff. Recommended.

Delicious meal from the Chequers! Thanks Brian and team!

Good food, good beer. Felt very safe in these strange times.

Brilliant. Great beer, food & above all staff.

Brilliant little pub and the bloke running it absolute diamond one of a kind for a conversation. Also loved to speak with a couple and their fury friend in there. Brilliant place.

Lovely pub, very friendly, lots of Covid security stuff. Nice pint of Kingstone Press cider to end our bike ride.

Not the first time I have had issues at this place. And yet again they were right. Customer is always at fault.

Great pint of Taylor's landlord 😁

Lovely friendly pub. Great cheesy chips

It ok if you like that sort of thing.

Don't see many of these in pubs these days.

Great village pub but let down by food.Hour and a half wait, cold food , small portions, mediocre quality.

Old school pub with no airs and graces set in a lovely small village setting. Landlord is a cracking bloke. This kind of pub is sadly a dying breed.

Very pleasant country pub with good food.

Nice country pub. Friendly staff and locals, and my steak was good.

There was a nice atmosphere but didn't rate the food at all. Sorry landlord (he was a nice chap).

We've been to The Chequers Inn one many occasions and each time has been a very pleasing experience with great food and sensible prices. The last time we went the chef had made her own rum & raisin ice cream which was amazing!

Got quite excited when I could book online and expected a little more than what's a good honest pub selling OK food. With changes to the A14/M6/M1 junction it's a little far from the beaten track so maybe not quite worth the detour. Sadly they're also gettting rid of the blue and white Leicester FC stripes!

I stay here quite often for work and really can't say much against it. A few minor niggles which is just me being picky! Gail and Brian were great and will be missed, I was made to feel welcome from the moment I stepped over the threshold. The girls in the bar are lovely and friendly, great selection of beers and spirits. Sandra is around in the morning to set you up for the day with coffee and juice, breakfast is fab, fresh and good quality. The rooms are clean, have coffee and tea making facilities and tv. The new managers have big shoes to fill, looking forward to going there next week and meeting the new managers, and wishing Gail and Brian the best of luck with their new venture.

I’d recently heard that the Chequers had reopened for food so i thought it would make a lovely place for a meet up. It’s fair to say I was very impressed. The whole pub has a warm and welcoming atmosphere filled with friendly staff. I ordered the lasagna which was delicious (would really recommend) and my friend had the surf and turf. I would really recommend this pub for families, couples or just a friendly meet up. Very impressed :)

Came here the other day with my Husband and Children - we ordered the Surf and Turf, Steak and Sausage Kids Meals. Brilliant wait service, big smiles on the delightfully polite staff, delicious food and perfect portion sizes!!! Will be returning!

Service was nice and friendly the moment we stepped into the pub. Food was served very professionally and was beautifully cooked. Drinks service was again very good. I would recommend this pub as family friendly pub with amazing polite staff. Will defiantly be visiting again shortly. :)

Shocking! Chose this pub for a family gathering. Rang and booked for 15-20 people on a Sunday lunchtime. We should have been told at the time of booking that there was no way the kitchen could cater for that number of people at one time. It took over an hour and a half to get the meals to everyone, consequently some had finished before some were even served. Meals came out haphazardly, some cold and had to be taken back to be warmed up, some with bits of the dish missing, eg. No garlic bread with the meal but came after the meal was eaten and was not even toasted; a trio of sausages came with just two sausages and they had run out of tartare sauce for any fish meals. The gammon that several people chose was nearly cremated and couldn't be cut. The eggs on the all day breakfast look like they had been scraped off the floor. A vegetarian among out number chose a vegetable quiche and then waited 20 mins to be told that there was none available. She then chose vegetable lasagne only to wait again to be told that it was not good enough to serve to her!!! She ended up going to without a meal as by this time most people had finished eating and to be honest was just put off ordering anything else. The service was dire, one young lad doing his best to serve us all and failing miserably. Apparently even the beer was not up to its best. If possible I would give this restaurant a zero rating.

Nice friendly staff, food is excellent. Nice cosy setting lovely beer garden and off street parking

Good do friendly pub good landlord!

Great food and drinks, prefect for a relaxing lunch

Great food and great hospitality!
